Summary of the contracting process

Tees Valley Combined Authority commissioned early contractor involvement for Redcar Central Station. The work covers reviewing the existing ES2 design documentation to identify gaps, completing ES3 surveys, reviewing risks, and assessing constructability and feasibility to inform the selection of options. This is specialist railway engineering and construction consultancy, intended to test and develop station design options before construction decisions are made. The services are for Redcar Central Station in the Tees Valley. The buyer is Tees Valley Combined Authority, a regional public authority. The contract combines engineering review and survey work with practical construction expertise, linking design assessment to the realities of delivering the selected station improvements.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Morgan Sindall Construction and Infrastructure Ltd. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026; its stated start date is 22 July 2026, with an initial end date of 28 October 2026 and an option to extend by six months, to a maximum extent date of 28 April 2027. The award date is not separately stated. The contract value is £71,621.06 excluding VAT (£85,945.28 including VAT). It was a below-threshold procurement; the method is recorded as unknown. There was one lot, covering the station engineering and contractor-involvement services. No evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions are reported.

This award shows demand from Tees Valley Combined Authority for early contractor involvement that combines railway engineering consultancy with construction delivery knowledge. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to review and challenge design documentation, identify gaps, plan and complete engineering surveys, assess project risks, and judge whether proposed options are feasible and buildable. The work favours a supplier able to connect technical design review with practical understanding of station construction, rather than a consultancy limited to general advice. Capability in railway engineering and the capacity to carry out surveys and structured risk and constructability assessments would be relevant. The selected supplier was a large construction and infrastructure company, indicating that the buyer accepted a provider with substantial delivery capability for this focused station project.
